Characterised by pain, progressive stiffness, and significant movement restriction, it can have a substantial impact on sleep, function, work, and quality of life. Designed for Remedial Massage Therapists, Myotherapists, Bowen Therapists, and other manual therapists, this course explores the current understanding of frozen shoulder, from anatomy and pathophysiology through to assessment, management, treatment evidence, and clinical decision-making. Particular attention is given to common treatment myths, the role of manual therapy and exercise, communication strategies, biopsychosocial influences, and the practical challenges clinicians face when supporting clients through recovery. By the end of the course, participants will have a contemporary understanding of frozen shoulder and greater confidence in assessing, educating, and managing clients using an evidence-informed approach.
